Yeah... baby is sucking a lot of oxygen out of your bloodstream and your lungs haven't yet expanded enough to compensate. Give it another month and you'll feel better- if the baby hasn't invaded your lung space and then you'll be breathless all over again!

To me yes, when I was pregnant my son sat high in my stomach and usually his legs were right under my rib cage. Just from the limited amount of space inside of you the baby takes up alot of room thats why alot of women go to the bathroom alot is when their child sits low in them b/c your bladder is there and they apply pressure on your bladder. But my best answer is that your child is sitting high and is limiting your lung space causing not to catch your breath as good. But if you are still worried consult your doctor just to make sure.

Completely.
The baby is right under your ribs right now causing (just like you said) you to not to fill up your lungs.
If you start passing out or getting lighted you should take your self to the doctor ASAP, but other wise it is normal.

Yes, it's normal. Your body is working very very hard putting so much of your energy towards making a baby. You tucker out quickly.
But you should contact your doctor on Tuesday and just be certain. It's just not worth it to take any chances. And never ever lay on your back.

Yes, your lungs and diaphram have less room to expand now. DOn't worry, it will go back to normal after baby comes.

See your doctor or call, It's possible you could have an iron deficiency, ..or it could just be the normal tired feelings we all get when pregnant.
